Critical assessment and validation of a time-integrating fluvial suspended sediment sampler (2013)
Journal Article
Perks, M., Warburton, J., & Bracken, L. (2013). Critical assessment and validation of a time-integrating fluvial suspended sediment sampler. Hydrological Processes, 28(17), 4795-4807. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.9985

Delivery of fine sediment to fluvial systems is of considerable concern given the physical and ecological impacts of elevated levels in drainage networks. Although it is possible to measure the transfer of fine sediment at high frequency by using a r...

Negotiating river restoration: The role of divergent reframing in environmental decision-making (2013)
Journal Article
Emery, S., Perks, M., & Bracken, L. (2013). Negotiating river restoration: The role of divergent reframing in environmental decision-making. Geoforum, 47, 167-177. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2013.01.008

In this paper we employ rhetoric culture theory, and a case study of upland channel truncation in the UK, to explore the nuanced processes of negotiation associated with environmental decision-making. In contrast to much of the literature on rhetoric... Read More about Negotiating river restoration: The role of divergent reframing in environmental decision-making.

Making sense of policy implementation: The construction and uses of expertise and evidence in managing freshwater environments (2013)
Journal Article
Bracken, L., & Oughton, E. (2013). Making sense of policy implementation: The construction and uses of expertise and evidence in managing freshwater environments. Environmental Science and Policy, 30, 10-18. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2012.07.010

This paper explores how environmental policy is implemented and enacted through the management of technical and institutional knowledge at the local level. We use the conservation of the freshwater pearl mussel in the River Esk, North Yorkshire, UK,...

Concepts of hydrological connectivity: Research approaches, pathways and future agendas (2013)
Journal Article
Bracken, L., Wainwright, J., Ali, G., Tetzlaff, D., Smith, M., Reaney, S., & Roy, A. (2013). Concepts of hydrological connectivity: Research approaches, pathways and future agendas. Earth-Science Reviews, 119, 17-34. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2013.02.001

For effective catchment management and intervention in hydrological systems a process-based understanding of hydrological connectivity is required so that: i) conceptual rather than solely empirical understanding drives how systems are interpreted; a...

The importance of surface controls on overland flow connectivity in semi-arid environments: results from a numerical experimental approach (2013)
Journal Article
Reaney, S., Bracken, L., & Kirkby, M. (2014). The importance of surface controls on overland flow connectivity in semi-arid environments: results from a numerical experimental approach. Hydrological Processes, 28(4), 2116-2128. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.9769

In semi-arid environments, the characteristics of the land surface determine how rainfall is transformed into surface runoff and influences how this runoff moves from the hillslopes into river channels. Whether or not water reaches the river channel...

Flood Generation and Flood Waves (2013)
Book Chapter
Bracken, L. (2013). Flood Generation and Flood Waves. In J. F. Shroder (Ed.), Treatise on geomorphology (85-94). Elsevier/Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-374739-6.00152-4

Catchment hydrological response and resulting flood generation are governed by a suite of complex interactions between basin characteristics, storm properties, and antecedent wetness conditions. This chapter links soil water movement at the plot scal... Read More about Flood Generation and Flood Waves.
